Why is the Stokke Care changing table made of beechwood?
Beechwood possesses durable, firm and elastic properties, which makes it the ideal natural material for Stokke to use in the making of Stokke Care, Tripp Trapp, Stokke Sleepi and Stokke Keep.
The benefits of beechwood are numerous. Not only is beechwood tough and dimensionally stable, but it also possesses exceptional characteristics with respect to construction gluing, and lacquer retention. These assets make beechwood the ideal choice for furniture, and especially children’s furniture, where stability and strength are so important.
Grown and harvested in the beechwood belt of eastern Europe, each tree is cultivated, handled and refined in a modern, environmentally-friendly and controlled way to meet our ecological ideals. Because at Stokke we not only care about the needs of your child today, but also about the needs of your child in the future.
